Here are the MTG Arena 1.06.00 March 12 patch notes

Historic Anthology 2 has arrived with the MTG Arena 1.06.00 update today, along with multiple quality of life improvements, March tournaments, and a new Jace pet.   

Another Secret Lair set celebrating International Women’s Day is dropping today for the next 24 hours. The MTGA March update also includes direct messaging for friends, Historic Anthology 2, March tournament details, and a puppet Jace pet from a Rakdos toybox.

Historic Anthology 2

With the arrival of Historic Anthology 2, there are 25 new cards, which will include Secret Lair Thalia, Guardian of Thraben for a limited time. 

• MTG Arena players can purchase Historic Anthology 2 playsets, which includes four copies of every card, for either 25,000 gold or 4,000 gems.
• Individual copies can also be obtained via wildcards
• Historic Anthology 2 cards are legal in Historic formats, Bot Match, and Direct Challenge.
• Playing Historic earns players’ quest progress as well as daily/weekly win rewards until the April game update.

Several cards in Historic were banned with the recent Magic B&R announcement earlier this week. A suspension was lifted for Field of the Dead, however, making it legal to play in Historic once again.

• Oko, Theif of Crowns
• Veil of Summer
• Once Upon a Time

Players will receive a wildcard in exchange for the banned cards, only if they didn’t receive one when they were banned in Standard last year. 

“With bans now hitting across multiple formats, we need to slightly update our approach to Wildcard refunds for banned cards,” WotC said. “The basic rule is that players will get Wildcard refunds whenever a card is banned in either Standard or Historic, but you won’t receive multiple refunds for the same individual card.”

Brawl

Brawler’s Guildhall will return to MTG Arena from March 19 to April 16. The reward is Bladewing the Risen, which is legal to play in Historic and Brawl formats. Golos, Tireless Pilgrim was also banned from the Brawl format, but MTGA players won’t receive a wildcard in its place. 

Gameplay

WotC has added an option to enable or disable gameplay warnings within the gameplay tab. This includes notifications when dealing damage to your own creatures, consuming Food, or playing duplicate Legendary cards. 

• Cards that deal damage based on their Toughness now use the term “Backbone” in the ability hangers.
• Cards that can assign damage as if they had not been blocked now use the term “Unstoppable” in their ability hangers.
• Additional cards now use a “soft confirm” (click on the card, “Activate Ability” button appears)
• Cards like Underworld Breach, Skizzik, and Curious Obsession now identify if they will be destroyed/exiled at the end of turn.

March Arena events
